Either way, it's gone, and Iam sure it will be addressed at the club. I think the squad and management thought they could pick and choose when to turn it on after winning the league. It backfired and we've let a huge opportunity go to waste. What it does is it shows we are far from the finished article and need to keep strengthening by adding more quailty. eejay the dj, demise and BlueAvenger 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Reynolds 1,329 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 When Gerrard sits down for a season review I would imagine the Cups will be about a 30 second conversation between him and the board. If Gerrard went from now for the next 2 years winning the league and achieving the Groups in Europe CL, or Europa League I doubt the board will give much a fuck about the Cups The Ibrox Derry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeDontDoWalkingAway1872 303 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 It was clear at the start of the season that we must win the league. You could see from the way we started we went all in with a high pressing, high tempo way of playing. Even getting into the mindset of stopping the 10 the players would have been putting all their energy into it. I think when we wrapped up the title it’s obviously had an effect and everyone has relaxed and there has been a drop in performance. Add to that it was already our 53rd game this season we aren’t going to be able to keep the levels up for every single game. Yes we should be beating St.Mirren and St.Johnstone but I think it can be easily forgiven this season regarding what was at stake. 55 and stopping the 10 was all that mattered Negri's lovechild, Blue Rino and The Ibrox Derry 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't either, it was a general point. I don't think the board will see the Cups as important to the club as the fans probably do as a measure of success these days or a massive measure on which a manager is judged come review time. I would expect it will be League, Europe with what happens in the Cups a far way behind. The Ibrox Derry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanVeenRangers 2,529 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 55 was all that mattered. However it was won a couple of months ago. The SC should have been a big focus. We beat the scum so the players could raise their game for it. Why not in the next round? They can raise their game in Europe too. It's down to the attitude and mentality of our first team. They had a week off so there are no excuses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is it should have been more given how this season has panned out. We should have those cunts dead and buried, but instead we’re one hit wonders who still haven’t dropped the ‘serial loser’ tag. Nothing wrong with acknowledging how fantastic 55 is, but also how shambolic our cup record is and question why we’ve missed such an open goal for at least a double. Serial loser tag? We just won the league. Nothing is bigger in Scottish football. This reaction is just idiotic to what has been by any standards fantastic for Rangers. We should be thanking Gerrard for producing a fantastic football team which obliterated the league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeing with that. 55 is probably the biggest title in our history. Doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t have won more this season, and should have done better in the cups over the last 3 years. Not trying to be Mr Staunch, but we haven’t been past the QFs of the Scottish cup in 3 seasons, with exits at Ibrox twice. That’s not good enough IMO. We should be expecting better.

We have done that this season. We have also underperformed at times. That also is normal. There were some wanting us to basically ignore Europe this year in our quest to stop them cunts. Personally I would take our European run and the money it brought and value added to players over cup wins. That doesn't diminish the disappointment but a reality check is needed.
